Tess Holliday Gets Body-Shamed by an Uber Driver, Reacts Like a Boss
Tess Holliday is a gift to this world, let"s just be real about that.
She"s absolutely stunning, for one, but her beauty isn"t only on the outside.
Tess, as a plus-size model, has always been very outspoken on how ridiculous traditional beauty standards are, why body-shaming should never happen, and why we should all just let people live.
Unfortunately, she still has to deal with body-shaming on a regular basis.
Just this week, it turns out, she experienced it while using Uber. We know because she got on Instagram to tell us the whole weird story.
And also to send a pretty pointed message to the company in question.
"Hey @uber," she began her post. "I don"t pay more to use your "black car" service to be told that there"s no way I could possibly be healthy because I"m fat & then questioning it."
"No one should have to tolerate this at any level of the services you offer."
"I"m fat," she wrote. "I also have a fat wallet & will no longer be using your services. Ever."
"Also after I told him I was healthy he turned the radio off & changed the subject."
She added a video from the incident, which you can see below. In it, the driver, who she points out is overweight himself, asks her about her cholesterol, like it is even a tiny bit of his business.
Still, she told him "My cholesterol"s fine, I"m perfect. Yep, I am healthy."
And then, because the world can be a terrible place full of terrible people and so much sadness and shame, Tess was criticized in the comments of the video because she called her driver "fat."
She edited her caption to explain that "Saying my driver is fat was obviously being used as a descriptor & not to insult him."
"Also I did not show his face or use his name when filming, it was to be able to show what I deal with daily & why this behavior is unacceptable from anyone."
It makes sense — she refers to herself as "fat" all the time, and she clearly uses it as an adjective and not an insult.
And still, even after that, the comments were flooded with people slamming her for boycotting Uber because of this one driver, and for "overreacting" to this man"s questions.
It"s all just so, so dumb.
This guy had absolutely no reason to ask Tess about her cholesterol or about her health, because it"s not his business. She paid him to drive her, her health is not his concern.
See some of the questioning Tess experienced in the video below:

Brittany Carter Rapes Cab Driver While Friend Robs Him at Knifepoint
In what may be the strangest story we’ve read in months, an Ohio woman was charged after allegedly raping a cab driver this winter.
The more details we learn, the more bizarre it gets.
Brittany Carter, 23, has been charged with rape after performing oral sex on the cab driver while at least one friend held him at knifepoint.
Carter’s friend(s) subsequently robbed the driver.
A native of Fremont, Ohio, Brittany was indicted on charges of first-degree felony rape and aggravated robbery following the incident.
Starcasm, via the Fremont News-Messenger, reports that Carter and 20-year-old Cory Jackson got into a cab in Findlay, Oh., on January 28.
It was 4:24 a.m. when this all went down.
No pun intended. Wow, that was bad.
In any event, according to law enforcement, Jackson “held [the] knife at the male cab driver while Carter performed a sex act on him.”
They stole a whole $ 32 in cash and bolted.
The driver reported what happened right away, and local cops issued arrest warrants, though it took months for her to be brought in.
Carter wasn’t apprehended until last week.
Brittany Carter’s bail is $ 60,000; Jackson, who is also wanted on murder charges (seriously) in Lima, Oh., apparently remains at large.
Currently, Carter is being held at the Hancock County Jail, where the mug shot above was taken, having not yet posted the $ 60K bond.
Photos of Brittany from her still-public Facebook page appear above and below … and show someone who looks by all accounts normal.
Don’t believe anything you read online!
As for the question you’re all wondering:
Given that the apparent motive was robbery (albeit for a mere $ 32) and it was serious enough to warrant the use of a deadly weapon …
Why the heck did she blow the driver?!
“We don’t know why she did it,” Findlay Detective Lieutenant Robert Ring said when that query was posed. “Maybe it was a distraction?”
“Because they took money from him.”
Brittany performing oral sex on a man while someone else clandestinely steals money is one thing, but wasn’t he robbed with a knife?
This whole thing makes no sense.
Interestingly, the official police report indicates that it was two males and one female who called for the cab ride in the first place.
Who is the third passenger? Was there one? Police are still on the hunt for Carter’s other accomplice, according to reports.

Busy Philipps: My Uber Driver Tried to Kill Me!
Busy Philipps says she’s lucky to be alive.
On Sunday, the funny actress turned dead serious when detailing a horrifying experience she and husband Marc Silverstein suffered through while taking an Uber earlier that morning.
Via a series of videos on her Instagram Story, the Dawson’s Creek and Cougar Town alum tried to explain what transpired after her evening out.
“The craziest thing just happened to me. I feel like I need to share it with you,” the 37-year old said, continuing as follows:
“I said to my husband, ‘Oh, that guy was weird. Are you sure he’s not going to kill us?’
“And then from the f-cking way back [of the car], a voice is like, ‘I promise that won’t happen’ and there was just, like, a f-cking crazy, scary dude in way back of this Uber.”
Wait… what? Huh?!?
There was some random guy just sitting behind Philipps and her husband as they were being transported home?
Writing from the safety of a Lyft, the actress added:
“So, basically, I was like, ‘I will not be killed tonight!’ and I jumped out and started screaming at this freaking creepy Uber driver, and I was like:
“‘This is not happening. I will not be killed tonight!"”
As she recounted her story for followers, Philipps alternated between nervous laughter and shaking.
“I’m not trying to be alarmist or whatever, but I definitely feel like those guys were trying to murder me tonight,” she said.
“I legitimately feel that way and it was really scary.”
Husband and wife proceeded to exit the vehicle and made it home safely, Philipps assured fans.
She then brought Silverstein into the camera for his take (“It was the weirdest thing that has ever happened to me,” he said) on the situation, and the two eventually begin snacking on pizza at home.
Silverstein guessed that estimated Philipps said “NO!” 50 times as they continued to theorize what happened with their ride.
The writer/producer, for example, believed perhaps there happened to be two pick-ups at once and things got messed up, hence the passenger in the back.
But Philipps wasn’t buying this scenario.
Is she going to press charges?
No.
“I don’t feel like the police would have been helpful,” Philipps said, adding that it’s not illegal to be creepy.
(That’s true; if it were, Kody Brown would have been arrested a long time ago.)
In a statement to Us Weekly, an Uber source said of this scary story and allegation:
Uber has not been informed on the incident yet, but the video has been seen by Uber and is being investigated. Uber received feedback about the trip from the couple indicating a second person was in the car, but no further safety incident was reported by Philipps or Silverstein.
A second person being in the car is in direct violation of Uber’s practices.
We should hope so!
Philipps, who is famously best friends with Michelle Williams, says she’s done with the ride-sharing company forever.
We can’t blame her.
Will you ever risk an Uber ride again?

Uber Driver Picks Up BF"s Side Piece, Crazy Encounter Ensues
You never know who you"ll pick up when you drive for Uber.
You also never know where you"ll be headed to next.
In the case of the woman featured in the following story, the answers to these two questions during a recent ride ended up being:
- Her boyfriend"s side piece.
- Her boyfriend"s apartment, where said said side piece and boyfriend were planning to have sex.
For real, people!
Scroll down to read the entire account, from the driver"s very own Twitter account…
1. When a Dick Appointment Goes Bad…
It all started as one woman trying to help out her fellow female.
2. It Couldn’t Have Been My Man!
Because he said he was going out of town, for a very sweet reason…
3. He Actually Drove Away!
This A-Hole is good.
4. An Hour Later…
I pick up this passenger. She tells me to drive to an apartment complex. Sure thing, girl!
5. She Loves Her Man
And she misses her man and, whatever, this driver’s man is out of town.
6. Wait, Wasn’t She Told the Address Right Away?
Nope, just the apartment complex. So the driver assumed it was just a coincidence that this woman’s man lived near her man.
